Post-Game Open Thread (Keep Opinions Here)

Submitted by Geaux_Blue on

As a favor to the mods, I would suggest everyone put their gripes and VERY IMPORTANT PERSONAL OPINIONS in this one place for everyone's sake. It didn't happen after PSU and the tailspin the board took afterwards made nobody happy.

But...

I was on board after last season for keeping GERG re: stability and improvement.  Therefore any opinion I have on anything is worthless because I suck.

I suggest contest: posbang for honesty, nebang for my idiotness

Change may be a bitter pill to swallow, but does anyone really want things to stay the same?

I don't want Hoke to be hired because I don't see how he'd be an improvement over Rodriguez. If he had replaced Carr in 2008, I think the team probably would be even worse than it is now. The defense would probably have the same lack of experienced talent it does now, the offense would be same old same old with Threet and no game-breaking RBs, and Hoke probably would not have recruited even as well as Rodriguez did. Most likely we would have gone 5-7, 5-7, 6-6 and Hoke would have been fired.

MadtownMaize,

Not that this argument is even worth having anymore, but I knew Mallett during his time in Ann Arbor. You are absolutely wrong. Stop spewing this nonsense.

that I read it here. I also read many other things, such as; Mallett wouldn't even talk to RR. Mallett was not liked by his teammates. I have seen Mallett quoted as saying that he is now at the place he should have been all along. In all honesty, I don't really care. Mallett is a Razorback, and I have followed and cheered for him in the same way I have McGuffie.

  Without trying to sound like an a-hole; since he is your buddy why don't you tell the board what really happaned?

Thanks again,

MtM

Today proves that we need a change - not at DC, but at the head coaching position. Let this sink in - worst bowl loss in Michigan history.  We have had far too may firsts in the last three years.  I believe that RR is a great coach, but for whatever reason he is just plain not being successful here.  

I am hearing (and hope its true) that JH is a done deal.  If not, I am totally open to Brady Hoke.

that sucked.  I posted in the past about  my connections to both schools.  I knew going in it would be like watching my sister and wife box.  I had to root for my wife (MState - my current employer and most recent degree grantor) over my sister (the team I grew up following).  My hope was that it would be close, clean, and no one would get hurt.  I am just sad after watching the maize and blue get it handed to them like that.

Let's just keep in mind that we are still Michigan and proping ourselves up because Sparty got blown out is unacceptable.. They lost to ALABAMA! We got blown out by Miss State... Even worse Sad....

I built up a lot of anticipation waiting o get back to a bowl game, and i was hoping with the time off to prepare we wouldn't look as bad as we did. Losing didn't hurt as much as getting embarrassed and looking like we had packed it in as soon as we got down. If Rich does leave I wish we could have sent him out better.
